A ceramic sculpture that blends innocence with discipline, charm with ambition. Dressed in a crisp collared shirt, navy tie, and pleated skirt, the figure is instantly recognizable—but never cliché.
The glossy finish evokes a polished exterior, the kind worn with pride and expectation. Yet, without a face, the viewer is left to imagine: is this confidence or pressure, joy or conformity?
Bright Student reflects the space between who we are and who we’re expected to be. A tribute to the uniforms we wear—literal and symbolic—as we shape ourselves in the eyes of others.
